The air was thick with tension as the group huddled in the walk-in closet, the faint hum of the mansion's ancient air conditioning drowned out by the guttural moans echoing through the halls. Hendrick stood by the door, his bloodied hands gripping the clothes hanger like a weapon. His face was pale, but his eyes were sharp, focused.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK1YRwOlw7

"We need to move," I said, my voice low but firm. "Now."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUNWfwyeKC
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww6BAb4pZn
Evelyn nodded, her usual confidence replaced by a quiet determination. "My mom's room is down the hall. There's a back door that leads to the garden. We can get out that way."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwyTqSGtPg
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeza3wcfNX
"And if it's locked?" Maya asked, her voice trembling.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAzZevDJlC
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUkbGYg8wo
"It's not," Evelyn said, "Mom is always forgetful, so she leaves the key in the keyhole."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUrl7hTTK6
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMhEdT6gR
We exchanged uneasy glances. Evelyn seemed genuinely confused about what was going on in her own house. Hopefully, she was right about this.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HzfUjKLwb
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPzBbrUTh
"Stay close," I said, stepping toward the door. "And don't stop for anything."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKz0ug2irI
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZyDCXfxIq
I opened the door slowly, peering into the hallway. The shadows seemed to shift and twist, the faint sound of footsteps echoing in the distance. The creature was close—too close.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfEtSX5FIi
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgccsUZk4b
We moved as one, our footsteps soft but hurried. Evelyn led the way, her familiarity with the mansion guiding us through the labyrinth of hallways. Hendrick brought up the rear, his eyes darting nervously behind us.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wgu3H2Nrp
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmEy50E7wM
The moans grew louder, and the air grew colder. The creature was following us.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNGmOOFhvH
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlxSLSE0i0
"Faster," I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGUm1UD7SB
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMFS5UOm7W
We turned a corner, and the hallway seemed to stretch on forever. The sound of the creature's footsteps grew louder, closer. I glanced over my shoulder and saw it—a hunched, humanoid figure with glowing eyes and a grotesque snarl. It was gaining on us.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUh3cRD8c7
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwwuE0pfDA
"Run!" I shouted, pulling the others forward to get ahead of me, starting with Sasha, Masha, Maya, then Evelyn.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksOfOSp5bu
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRUG2pp7Qb
But Evelyn froze, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the creature. "No," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "It's… it's Grandpa."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqUTlrPcry
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgNOpDe1v
Hendrick didn't hesitate. He stepped in front of Evelyn, his clothes hanger raised like a weapon. "Go!" he shouted, his voice firm. "I'll hold it off!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIfYh8mfuB
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkQIptcnMa
"Hendrick, no!" Maya screamed, her voice breaking.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwCRjWsdrg
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbskD9IS5B4
"Just go!" Hendrick snapped, his eyes never leaving the creature. "I'll buy you time!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydu3SoxSUB
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW6WznEedD
The creature lunged, its claws slashing through the air. Hendrick swung the hanger, the metal clanging against the creature's arm. It roared, a sound that sent shivers down my spine, but Hendrick stood his ground, his face pale but determined.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq3d6Fyb02
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbbYIQWrt1
"Go!" he shouted again, his voice strained.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBegfdqmakD
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEq2A3vQBk
I grabbed Maya's arm, pulling her away. "We have to go!" I said, my voice tight with urgency.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdaCLGRiBz
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5CUb7oI6t
Maya hesitated, her eyes filled with tears, but she nodded. We ran, a loud defiant scream from Hendrick coming from behind us. I didn't look back. I couldn't.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpZQJexrJf

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rziKx4qOt
We reached Evelyn's mom's room, the door slightly ajar. Evelyn pushed it open, her hands trembling. "This way," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdaeMIfkdP
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLFpcLCss
The room was dark, the air heavy with the scent of dust and decay. The back door was visible at the far end, but before we could move, a low, guttural moan filled the room.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbonNdkkc54
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2MjvXnVv
Another creature stepped out of the shadows, its glowing eyes fixed on us. It was smaller than the first, but no less terrifying.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqBNbR66tM
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjIbhUqyqH
Masha quickly grabbed a lamp from a nearby table and hurled it at the creature, the glass shattering against its chest. The creature seemed unaffected by Masha's move, roaring instead, its attention fully on Masha.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLF1LOdTyu
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J50R8I2Zh
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Masha shouted, her voice sharp. "Run."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi15YkjKWw
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmL11NZ5mq
I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest. "Masha..."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMZ5zwq84D
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYic8G1gXPt
"Don't worry," she said, forcing a small smile. "I'm right behind you."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBVrJiBuXu
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBc1dWSCTY
We started for the door, but the creature grabbed Masha.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdDHibuZu
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZvbUs5UgO
"No!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwyElHcArf
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUYZspn64I
"Keep going!" she insisted, struggling against the creature's grip.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHcUfpH9nP
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsPdqAKYze
And so we did. I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see the creature lunging at her, its claws slashing through the air. Masha didn't scream. She just looked at us, her eyes filled with a quiet resolve, and a small smile on her face just before the creature's claws tears into her sternum, separating her body in two.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3q64JzC9a

We burst through the back door, the cool night air hitting us like a slap. The garden stretched out before us, the moonlight casting long, eerie shadows across the grass. But the relief was short-lived.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mHrozzxlJ
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1MNT2ygCw
The sound of the creatures' moans echoed behind us, growing louder with each passing second. They were coming.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhOPl24dE
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2TIKztTs
"We need to keep moving," I said, my voice tight with urgency.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr490Ieptth
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnyddMzz1
Maya nodded, her face pale but determined. Sasha was silent, her eyes filled with tears. Evelyn looked back at the mansion, her expression unreadable.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwpNFcHy3J
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnLCvKcmrl
"Come on," I said, grabbing her arm. "We can't stop now."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhCkQY1hou
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMDh68zkd1
We ran, the sound of the creatures' footsteps echoing behind us. The garden seemed to stretch on forever, the shadows twisting and shifting as if alive. But we didn't stop. We couldn't.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4MMgQchh5
